Summary

Little to add.

Despite some of the usual gold bugs touting more upside - Sinclair was again touting $50,000 Gold, the broader trend in the metals remains weak.

Again, its notable that despite the broader equity market seeing significant gains, the mining stocks remain almost entirely dependent upon how the metals trade.
